I'm still in shopping mode but the Pioneer is off my list. Ease of entry/exit is terrible on the Pioneer and I felt cramped in the driver position and I'm only 6'1". IMO driver ergonomics is key and it just wouldnt work or me. The Viking is much much better in this area. Still sitting on the sidelines as I've narrowed my list down to the Viking and Polaris Ranger XP900. Both are equally comfortable in the drivers seat but I really like the tilt steering and adjustable seat on the Ranger 900. Will wait to later in spring to test drive both as there's too much snow in Ontario right now.Both debuted at similar times, they're priced competitively with each other, offer similar characteristics, both companies are known for their relative reliability... I'm just curious what it is that had you going blue instead of red?
Is it a brand thing?
Dealer convenience?
Is there a dichotomy between the two that I've missed?
This ^^^^. Owned Honda's nearly all my life, got (3) Honda Generators. The fact of not having a " Low" range really pushed me to the Viking...JMOThe Honda transmission is the main reason I didn't go with it. To many complaints about it not being low to work and not high enough for play. I have ridden plenty of Rincons and would agree.
^^This. You will be amazed at the power and the noise level of the ranger 900xp. You can barely hear it when its idleing. The viking has plenty of power to be sporty but not quite enough to break axles constantly. The 900xp is on another level though. I have ridden both and I chose the viking for proven reliability. At my deer lease me and my buddy have rhinos and everyone else has rangers. They have alot more issues than we do. They have broken way too many axles and have had too many wiring harness issues. The 900xp is the best of rangers though. Make sure you buy an extended warranty and keep the factory tires on and you should be fine. Or buy and Viking and sleep well at night! lol! Good luck!Polaris makes some really decent machines. They are very capable and perform well. I am personally always concerned about there long term reliability. My Rhino was rock solid for 8 years and has great resale and there is no reason to think the Viking won't be the same. Have fun shopping in the spring
